Samsung Galaxy S10 Is Almost a Nightmare to Repair

If you’re thinking of breaking open a Samsung Galaxy S10, you better stop dreaming, because the experts at iFixit have just tested the device and their conclusion isn’t by any means good news.

The Galaxy S10 received a repairability score of just 3 points out of a maximum of 10, and it’s mainly because of the amount of adhesive that Samsung used to keep everything in place.

Basically, dismantling a Galaxy S10 should be such a difficult thing to do because a single Phillips driver takes care of all the screws. But on the other hand, the simple fact that the glass front and back is glued-down with a ton of adhesive means there’s a good chance the body could break into pieces when trying to remove it.

The area that’s mostly impacted by this is the screen, as iFixit notes that repairing the display requires a lot of effort due to tough adhesive.
